Chapter 217: Benefiting the Country and the People
Yan Chengjin followed His Majesty's gaze, the Zhang family brothers had very deep feelings, of course, only when they didn't talk about money.
Zhang Heling was not ashamed, but proud, "The minister's family is poor, and he only bought a hot water bladder, so he wanted the two to share it." ”
He is old, the weather is too cold, and His Majesty is a forgiving person, so he must not blame.
Emperor Hongzhi found that many ministers were holding a "pillow" in their hands, half-covered and half-hidden in their cuffs, and they couldn't see it if they didn't look carefully.
"Bring it up and show it to me."
Xiao Jing hurriedly trotted down, pulling the hot water bladder of the Zhang brothers, "The two lords let go."
"No, the price hasn't been discussed yet!" Zhang Heling dragged and didn't let go.
Xiao Jing increased his strength and couldn't help but shout: "Bring it!" ”
How could the Zhang brothers rob a person who practiced martial arts, and they were suddenly snatched away.
Emperor Hongzhi touched the hot water bladder, which was soft and warm, and it was extremely comfortable to hold on his hands.
"Yan Qing's house, this is another thing from the Liangxiang shop, right?"
Yan Chengjin thought for a while and said, "Yes!" When I came to my aunt, I was very comfortable with my stomach on my stomach. ”
Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang looked at each other.
This has touched on their knowledge blind spots......
"Yan Qing's family, what is the eldest aunt?"
"This is an obscure statement, and in the court, the ministers don't know whether to say it or not."
"Speak, I'll listen."
Yan Chengjin pondered it carefully and said, "Auntie, it's a woman's experience. ”
The hall was dead silent.
The minister's face became unnatural, and he secretly glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, and saw that His Majesty showed a slight smile and disappeared in a flash.
"I bought this hot water bladder, there is still one missing, who else has it, I asked the celebrant to settle the silver."
Don't think about it, it must be for the queen and the queen.
The brothers of the Zhang family are happy, and they will knock His Majesty hard in a while.
Down to the court,
Emperor Hongzhi drove the Kunning Palace and entered the dormitory, only to see Empress Zhang chatting with the crown princess, "Empress, I have something for you." ”
Xiao Jing hurriedly brought something up.
"What is this?"
"It's cold, it's extremely comfortable to cover my body, and I also sent one to the Queen Mother."
Emperor Hongzhi felt that the word "aunt" was a bit unelegant, and she had shared the same bed for more than ten years......
"The concubine is not cold in Kunning Palace, but the crown princess often comes to talk to the concubine, and it is easy to get cold when she walks around, so it is better to give it to the princess."
"The queen mother is very gracious, the concubine's body is acceptable, so let's keep it for the queen mother." The crown princess bowed and excused herself.
"It's because I didn't think it through, just buy another one, don't be humble, send it to the East Palace." Emperor Hongzhi instructed Xiao Jing.
……
Liangxiang,
In the snow, the homeless people are opening a river, and the waterway more than 20 miles long has been dug out ten zhang wide.
Zhang Xian personally came to supervise the work, took three shifts to catch fast, and went to the ground to dig the soil.
If it weren't for the three-percent salary increase, the officials would have quit a long time ago.
Yan Chengjin stood on the embankment, looking at it, a bit like a labor reform, with the displaced people wielding hoes and carrying dirt and boulders.
The progress was a little faster than expected.
After completion, this will be the only inner harbor in North Zhili.
The good township is poor, there are too many such displaced people, and after there are more merchants, they can do some small business and mix some copper plates.
After connecting to Caoyun, Liangxiang can directly send the goods to Tianjin Port.
The opening of the Liangxiang River Port has required a lot of laborers to be employed, and the displaced people have another livelihood.
The development history of Jiangnan Shipyard, Yan Chengjin knows how important the shipyard is.
With a shipyard, you can load General Hongyi on a ship, compete for territory on the sea, and occupy sea resources.
"Is there still vacant land in Liangxiang?"
As soon as he heard Lord Yan's words, Zhang Xian knew that construction was going to be carried out again, "In the southwest of the workshop, there are still some vacant land that has been confiscated. ”
Yan Chengjin went around and was not far from the Inner Harbor Wharf.
When he returned to the house, he took out the shipbuilding drawings given by Liu Daxia.
Helping Liu Daxia was not only to move the position of the secretary of the military department, but also to get his drawings and open a shipyard in Liangxiang.
After the opening of the waterway in Liangxiang, merchant ships were required to transport goods out.
The cost of a merchant ship is about the same as that of a sports car in later generations.
If Liangxiang opened a shipyard, it could provide many jobs for the displaced people, which was the first large-scale manufacturing yard in the Ming Dynasty.
However, ships are strategic materials and cannot be built privately, and there are strict requirements for the specifications of the ship.
There are also many people who build secretly.
What Yan Chengjin wants to do is to buy and sell legally, and he is not afraid of the imperial court's investigation.
If you want to build a ship, you have to get permission from the imperial court.
After thinking about it, he went to the duty room of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to write a letter and ordered Fang Xue to send it to the cabinet.
After becoming the imperial history of the right capital, Dai Shan asked Fang Xue to be Yan Chengjin's subordinate.
So far, Fang Xue is the only one who agrees with Yan Chengjin Gou.
Attributed to Yan Chengjin's subordinates, he naturally hoped to learn Gou Dao and become the gold medal imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"This official asked you, what should you pay attention to when you go here?"
Fang Xue thought about it carefully and said, "Give Shu Yue to Li Gong in person, and others can't touch it." ”
"Li Gong is not here, what should I do?"
Fang Xue pondered for a moment, thinking in his heart what he would do if he was an old brother?
"Put a note on the case: Li Gong personally opened, others should not touch."
"If Gong Li leaves the official's sparse performance in the middle?"
"Impeach Li Dong, block the way of speech, and deliver it to Your Majesty, and then take the opportunity to bypass the cabinet and directly present the sparse performance to Your Majesty."
Yan Chengjin nodded, you have obtained my true inheritance, and your son can be taught!
……
cabinet
Li Dongyang held the hot water bladder and flipped through the sparse music presented from all over the place.
Fang Xue walked into the cabinet room, saw that Li Dongyang happened to be there, and was overjoyed: "Lord Li, this is the sparse performance presented by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I also ask the adults to vote." ”
After seeing Li Dongyang open it, he did not retreat, because there was a possibility that the sparse music would be left behind.
"This stinky boy can really toss!"
Liu Jian turned his head and knew without asking that he was the cautious guy from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"Whom are you impeached again?"
"He's going to open a shipyard in Liangxiang."
Liu Jian and Xie Qian glanced at each other, since Qiu Junshang was strictly controlled by the sea, the ship has become a controlled product, and it can only be opened under the supervision of the imperial court.
"If you don't open the sea ban, what do you want the shipyard to do?"
"Take Shu Yue back and tell Yan Chengjin that this matter is not allowed!"
"Lord Yan said that this move is for the displaced people in Liangxiang." Fang Xuedao.
"Vote first, and hand it over to Your Majesty for approval."
Li Dongyang wrote his opinion on it and waited for His Majesty to make a decision.
Seeing that Shu Yue was not left behind, Fang Xue retreated.
When Yan Chengjin heard that Li Dongyang had written a vote, he knew that he would have to face the saint in a while.
Sure enough, after a while, the little eunuch of the warm pavilion came to announce.
took out two taels of silver from his cuffs, and the little eunuch smiled: "Lord Yan has broken the bill, Your Majesty is for the shipyard." ”
Yan Chengjin strode into the hall.
Emperor Hongzhi paced in front of the palace, as if waiting for him to come, "I have read your sparse music, and I want the ship to be supervised by the Ministry of Works, so why build a shipyard?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's not a boat that the minister wants."
Emperor Hongzhi's forehead wrinkled into Sichuan characters, and said: "Don't want a ship, what do you do in a shipyard?" ”
"What the minister wants is the shipyard ......"
In the last life, there were many communities that were spun off from large factories into towns, and with factories, there were schools, supermarkets, and cinemas, like a miniature town.
Liangxiang doesn't have such a strong ability.
With a shipyard, most of the problem of displaced people could be solved, and everyone would have food and clothing.
"The good township is still poor, there are many homeless people who don't have enough to eat, with the shipyard, the men can work hard to earn wages, and they can go to the docks to do labor, and the women can paint the ship and clean the floor..."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin: "Wanderers know how to build ships?" ”
Of course I don't understand, but I have Liu Daxia's drawings...... Yan Chengjin thought for a while and said, "The minister believes that Song Jing will definitely be able to build a ship." ”
If you have the drawings, you should be able to get them out if you find a group of craftsmen.
Yan Chengjin didn't want the people in the Ministry of Engineering to see Liu Daxia's drawings.
Emperor Hongzhi's face was strange, this Song Jing was an immortal sent from heaven?
